Hello,

thanks for the message. I'm sorry S82357 can not directly replace Prologix GPIB interface. That's because Prologix GPIB interface use their own VISA library, which we can not support. S82357 just work with Agilent VISA or NI VISA. Which means you can not use S82357 with software developed for Prologix.

But actually, after reading the readme document, I found EZGPIB do support Agilent VISA. I wrote a short code as Page 24 shows in EZGPIB.pdf (I can not post code here)

After compiling the code in EZGPIB, it runs on well and read back the return value from my instruments. So, if you want to use S82357, you need to install Agilent IO library first (free on Agilent website), and write the code with Agilent VISA functions, not the Prologix VISA functions. That's what looks like in the above code.

Let me know if this make sense for you.

BTW, that's a really neat software, thanks for sharing this with me!

Best regards

monolust，

Yes, it makes sense! :-) [tanks for your reply].

Even if I was referring to the following document:
http://cp.literature.agilent.com/litweb/pdf/5990-3731EN.pdf
in which (Page 6) it _seems_ that enabling the option at point (7) the original interface (82357B) will become completely compatible with the GPIB32.DLL file.
In such way, your interface SHOULD be compatible with "standard" (National Instruments) NI.488 applications: even those written in console mode!!!
